succeeded because it is worse than when i started. welcome to our viewers on public television in america and aroundashe globe. itot the smoothest of starts to the nato summit in brussels. president trump came with a e messat other countries need to step up spending and he hammered it home. he also took specific aim at germany for energy deals with moscow. the bbc's europe editor katy adler is at the summit and start our coverage. katya: such careful choreography -- not showy, but precise. nato boasts that it is in control and ready to take on modern-day threats -- cybercrime, cross-border terror, concerns about russia. but there was one big element today over which nato had no

control at all, donald trump, a man determined to shake up this alliance which h guaranteed european security since world war ii. pres. trump: thankou very much. thank you. katya: the morning here started with a jolt. pres. trump: germany is totally controlled by russia. because they were getting from 60 to 70% of their energy ewrussia and a pipeline. katya: a blistering and not entirely factually correct mpattack by donald tn nato ally germany for its plan to build a gas pipeline to russia. pres. trump: we are supposed to protect you against russia, but they are paying billions of dollars to rusa and that is very inappropriate. katya: the german chancellor was meally prepared for donald trump. her reply was swift. chanceor merkel: i lived in -- i myself experienced livi in part of germany when it was occupied by the soviet union, but i'm happy that germany is united in freedom that we can make our own independent

policies and decisions. katya: so what does this all mean? is nato, the cornerstone of european security, falling apart before our eyes? well, not quite.u. th remains as involved as ever in nato missions, and donald trump blows hot as well as cold when it comes to this alliance but he did stand his foot about -- stamp his foot about his favorite nato bugbear, military spending, a message above all for europe. you want u.s. production, he insists?tion, he you start coughing up a lot more for defense. nato has an military spending target of 2% of itp for all of members. most european countries don't make the grade, incling big germany, france, and italy. e,th all her problems at h the prime minister came here determinedot to trip up. at least with regards to president trump.pr e min. may: we are

announcing today that we will be deploying an additional 440 personnel to nato's mission in afghanistan, and that shows that when nato calls, the uk's is ont of the fir to step up. >> the right honorable theresa may. katya: and just for good measure, theresa may underlined that the u.k. is paying its way when it comes to militar spending. nato leaders then headed off for dinner to keep talking and possibly arguing. a big question donald trump's allies have r him is his one-to-one meeng with russian president vladimir putin next week. katya adler, bbc ns, brussels . jane:or foron the meeting, i spoke a brief time ago with heather connolly of the center for strategic and internationalt ies. donald trump is always criticizing nato. abwhat is different this time? heather: i think as a candidate he questioe alliance, calling it obsolete, and he is focused like a laser beam on european defense spending.

that is not new. american presidents going back before ronald reagan have been focusing on this. but it seems as if the president is using the 2% defense spending issue as a way to dermine nato and not strengthen it. jane: isn't this just his rhetoric? how is he undermining nato? heather: you aret.bsolutely ri if you look at the nato strongtion, this is alliance. it is doings, thit is reinforcing. members are increasing their defense spending. they are united. ithat is nodonald trump's mind, nato. it is what nato hasn't done for the united states, how alliesng are drais on trade and energy issues. there is two very different natos, one that exists and is working every day on afghanistan and the eastern flank, and the one in donald trump's mind that o will never be acceptablem.

jane: how unsettling is this to other nato leaders? heather: deeply unsettling. there are nato members doing their part sending troops to the baltic states and poland, anistan.troops to af they are increasing their disp at least 5% to 2%. it will have eight at 2% by the finney to of this -- by the end of this year. in some ways it feels like it will never be enough. i was struck, jane, today -- alu.s. leaders have been speaking out, bipartisan, republican leaders, democratic leaders, saying this is not how you treat allies. nato is import it. a resoluticongress, 97-2 in the senate, saying nato is ntportant. in some ways presirump is creating antibodies in a political body saying that nato is important to the united states. jane: what do you think president putin is making of all of this? heather: if he is reading that nato dlaration, he is seeing a tough statement about russia's

annexation of crimea and its continued lack of resolve in solving the ukraine crisis. moldova. georgia, it is very, ifry strong. bue is listening to president trump at the breakfast this morning attacking angela merkel, attacking nato members, ng is sitting back with his feet on his desk and samy work here is done."at jane: essage should mr. trump give him when they meet at the summit? heather: i would like president trnp to read that paragraph the nato decoration on russia where they say that russia is violating treaties and nations' territorial integrity, anit will not stand. what i fr is president trump will not use those words and he will have a different perspective when he meets president putin in helsinki. jane: thank u very much for joining me. the world cup final on sunday is set. croatia will be joining france on the pitch after defeating

sengland byre of 2-1. it was a nailbiter which went into extra time. now croatia advances to the finals for the first time. olly foster watched it all unfold in moscow and joined us are short time ago. i asked about the highlights. olly: the world cup semifinal going to extra time, of course it will be nailbitin exhausting just to watch. exhausting for croatia. that is the third extra time ththey have been through a world cup. they knocked out denmark on penalty, knocked out the host, russ, just days ago. this did not go to a shootout, but my word, croveia had to dig deep just to get back into the match. enand, such a young side, averagedss 30 er man compared to the croatians. has grown into this tournament, and his delivery has been applauded all the way through. that was his first international goal, and it looked like it would be the winner as well.

what a time to score for your country for the first time. we thought it was a bit of a high boot, but it stood and it ant to extra time. you just felt ther croatia equalized, england losr way a little bit. and then he had to do all he could to get them to calm down and settle down. the extra experience was key for croatia. it was now reminds youetthe 32-year-old, the old war horse who got the winner in the second period of extra time. at least we didn't have penalties,se bechat would have been too much to bear, probably. luengland ably dejected at the full-time whistle. croatia in raptures because they are going to their first world cup final, 20 years after they made their debut at the world cup. such a new nation, tiny nation. just over 4 million . what an amazing achievement for

them. they will be facing the french in four days time. jane: ju give us a sense of how disappointing this is for england. there was such high hopes that th had even got this far. olly: i think you have got to go back a couple of days and listen to some of the southgate news conferences, becse yes, they were aware of this wave of euphoria behind the team. they did not have it at the start because they stumbled past tunisia in the opening group match. they lost the final group game. in southgate they trust, and it was waistcoat wednesday. all the fans, especially after colombia were knocked out onho penalty -- theout victory at the world cup. then the belief started to accelerate and they steamrolled their way towards sweden in a businesslike win against the swedes, 2-0. no extra time, no penalties in that. suddenly they thought, here is

croatia, we will get past them and get to the first world cup final since 1966. this was their first semifinal since 1990. so we have the misery of moscow. i don'think there will be recriminations. southgate did say to us, look, there is no way that this young iam are ever going to reach their true potentirussia. that is for the next major championship, perhaps the next world cup in qatar. he was very clear with that. it will be no recriminations. but it does not take away the bitter dejection and .disappointme they are not going home. they have got to somehow lift themselves for the third-place playoff against belgium, a match nobody wants to play. hopefully they can lift themselves and sign off on a high. jane: on the other side of the coin, they are celebrating in croatia. what will they face against france? olly: france are the favorites here. they have grown into this

thtournament. knocked out argentina. in the group stage, croatia beat argentina 3-0. there is some unfinished business here. when croatia made eir debut just a mere 20 years ago, they lost to france in the semifinals. unfinished business here again e french. the french will be favorites.: jaat a world cup. olly foster, thanks for joining us. even if you are a disappointed england fan, do stay with us because there was plenty of excitement to come, and we will bring it to you on the bbc. british police say they have begun speaking to one of the latest novichok poisoning victims. charlie rowley has regained consciousness and is no longer in critical condition. authorities are looking at a ofpossible link to the cas sergei and yulia skripal, poisoned with the same substance in march. india's supreme court has

criticized the government for failing to protect t taj judges accused the state and central government of lethargy and described the current monumentto protect the as a hopel environmentalists say evolution -- air pollution is damaging the building. the duty and duchess of visiting dublin in their first overseas engagement sin getting married. they met them at the residence alongside their two dogs. today the first images have emerged of the 12 thai bs in hospital rescued from the flooded cave. they are being treated along with the coach who was trapped for more than two weeks with them. lucy williamson brings us the last. lucy: these are the luckiest boys in thailand -- still weak, still quarantine. these pictures the first we have seen since the rescue diver film to them huddled together in a cave.

the schoolboys pose for the camera, hiding the miracle that they are here at all. what happened in the cave of the horror, weeks inspired then awe, now curiosity. a dozen boys who could not even swim. rescuers said the biggest risk was that they would panic. how did they get them out? incredible story of their rescue is only just emergin e first footage of the mission itself. each boy wrapped in a special kind of structure and carried along by hand. in parts of the cave where it was impossible to stand rescuers built a complex system of police to transport them out, and where it was flooded, scuba divers strapped the children underneath and carried them through, a feat described by one reser is superhuman. several sources have told the bbc the boys were sedated during the journey.

watch his arm. mountainal for normal rescues, experts say, but riskier with children and scuba diving conditions. >> you have to believe. we think that our plan is we try and try and try. we test and test and test. ok. and you got the best team. so you have to belie lucy: leaving from the airport b tonight, ttish diver who started the rescue denied he was a hero. >> if u could do the same for someone else, you would. see whent most people they look at the rescuers and ome boys is the most incredible show of courage one and from the other, incredible trust. lucy williamson, bbc news. jane: you are watching "bbc world news america." still to come on tonight's program, the u.s. eselates its tr warth with china,

reatening more tariffs, which draws a shocked response. jan's prime minister has been areas as thed-hit death toll reaches 179. torrential rains triggeredlo landslides ands in central and western japan, the worst weather disaster the cntry has seen since 1982. reporter: when the scale of the flooding became clear, mr. abe canceled a planned trip abroad and went to see the natural disaster for himself. he visited a shelter where people had been washed out of -- for people who had been washed out of their homes. the prime minister promised everything they needed to rebuild their lives. the government has put asidene extra moy and pledged to make sure they get it quickly. the emotion of the ordeal in the

voices of some of those mr. abe met. the cleanup has begun. peoplere sorting through the items that can be saved and the ones tha must be discarded. they are constant reminders of more carefree times somehow the floodwaters left of this miniature horse stranded on a roof. she fell off, unharmed. worst flooding in decades is being blamed on unpredictable weather caused by climate change. >> japan is one of the best of the world when it comes to disaster-risk reduction, disaster response. reporter: nearly 200 people have died. tens of thousands of homes are still without clean water.

japan has detaed plans for earthquakes, but some say it has done far less to get ready for inooding. when the rebuildis finished, that will change. president trump fired a new shot in the ongoing trade war between the u.s. and china. yesterday the white house threatened to impose 10% tariffs on another $200 billion in chinese export goods command ijing says it will retaliate. for more on what to expect, i spoke with a trade reporter politico. thanks very much indeed for joining me. a are ually in a trade war now? we seem to have been hesitant until this moment. >> that is really the question of the hour. it seems that this point the wide majority of people i talkng pu are calhis a trade war. there have been icans in

congress who say today that some people are using the word war but they are hesitant to do so. but the broad majority of people say that this is no longer a spat, this is a war. i talksomeone weeks ago that one round is a spat, but once we get to round two, we war, and we have hit round two now. jane: and possib tariffs on china coming up in september. how big an impact would that be? megan: a massive impact. against china specifically, $34 billion is in place. there is another $16 billion that will go into effect next nth, bringing it to $50 billion. this would be for drupal -- quadruple that size, and it more than china can retaliate against dollar for dollar the way they have been, because the u.s. does not export more than -- it is about $130 billion or

so of goods that the u.s. r.exports to china every y they can't even retaliate dollar for dollarecause they do not take that much of our stuff. jane: when do consumers start to feel the pinch? megan: it is up to different people. there are farmers alreadyth feelinpinch because they are planting the seeds, sending shipments to china. some boats are having to turn around and that sort of thing. y are looking at consumers writ large, some of them are feeling the pinch. if you are looking at everyday purchases, there is different pepectives. but people tend to say that by the end of this year, maybe bere or right around midterm november, that is when these maceconomic effects are going to start trickling down and affecting consumers in grocery stores or walmart or wherever they might be. jane: how big a risk is that that there will be a political backlash to is for donald trump? megan: so far he seems to be

doing fine, and that ig the interesting. even though republicans tend to be the party of free trade, in congress they are only beginning to speak out against the tariffs, some more indignantly than others. president trump's poll ratings are not really dropping on this. it will be interesting to see, tying into your previous question from one do consumers feel the pinch. we will have to wait uil that point when consumers across the country are feeling of pinch, that is when president trump feel the political backlash. so far they have callehim teflon don and that is proving true through the tra. jane: thank you for joining me. megan: thanks for having me. jane: for more than 60 years, the welsh illustrator ra steadman has been adding his unique spin to the art world. known for his legendary collaborations with gonzo journalist hunter s. thompson, his work can be found everywhere, from the wallsf museums to the label of a

beer bottle. atexhibit has opened americaon, d.c.'s, university. ralph: saw an ad in a newspaper said that "you can learn to draw and earn pounds 12 lessons on how to draw, 12 pounds. for 17 pounds, extra lessons to learn how to be a cartoonist. the horse was a little old-fashioned. the principles of art haven't changed. i never use a pencil. someone asked me, don't you make mistakes? i said, there is no such thing as aiske. a mistake is an opportunity to do something else. lei think that too many pe rely on what goes on in the iphone. i must have wet ink somewhere.

it is just that we are all trapped inside this electronic community. you cannot do anything except through the computer. the first time i used a polaroid camera, i got interested in the whole idea of it. i realized that the emulsion is still wet for abt 15 minutes. it suddenly became malleable, something you could do somethi th. i was in 1986 in aspen, colorado, and david hockney came to it. he was wearing a stupid hat. i went up behind him with a camera. "david?" he turned around. click. "hwon't come out, you know." that is going in the book, actually.

dribbling white stuff. i went to america in 1970 looking for woke, and i was by a brooklyn man, how would you like to go to kentucky d meet an ex-hells angel who just shaved his head? hunter thompson. i think it was three days we we. trying to find each oth it was ridiculous. "are you steadman, illustrator?" "yes." "you look weird, but not that weird." i had a little goatee b.rd at the ti i do miss him a lot. he was always scribbling, embarrassing people. i wanted to change the world, and i think at last i have succeeded, because it is worse t was when i started.
